NeXOS Project

Techniques utilizing inherent optical properties like fluorescence and absorption are potentially applicable in long-term monitoring approaches. These properties are independent from ambient light conditions and can provide information about many components of the marine environment; including contaminants and dissolved and particulate constituents of the biological carbon cycle.

NeXOS will promote innovation with the development of new compact low-power multifunctional optical sensors, through fluorescence, absorption and spectrophotometric techniques.
